Captain Howard launched his little
steamboat yesterday, which he has been

supply the extra demand for papers.
The Circuit Court room was crowded
all day yesterday by people eager to hear
all the developments in the Virgins
murder trial in progress there. The
other criminal cases to-day. 1t is ex-
pected that the session of the Court will

The st. Augustine Water Power.

St Johns Weekly.
A test of the water wheel i'm rear of
the Lyon building on Thursday proved
most satisfactory. and demonstrated
that a six-inch artesian well can supply
sufficient power to run heavy machinery
and perform useful services in m any
ways. The wheel in question is \ feet
in diameter and one foot i'm width, and
is constructed entirely of wood on the
plan of the old fashioned over-shot water
wheels with which our great-great grand
fathers are familiar. Any one having an
artesian well, can by this means COM
mand the same power at trivial expense
The Lyon wheel is now pumping into a
a large tank on the fourth floor of the
building to supply water for the elevator
As soon as the necessary gearing arrives.
our presses will be attached by main
shaft to the water wheel, and we shall he

You may believe with all your might
that you are Ia rise again after death g,
but there are hundreds of questions
about the resurrection. aside from the
hare fact. which one would like to ask,
and for which IN this life there is no an
swer. There are many points about
our Lords resurrection which contradict
the known laws of nature, just a. there
is much in the church doctrine of the
resurrection of the material body which
puZzels belief and sets at naught the
known properties of matter AMI personal
identity. but You have to make your AL
vances into the belief in the existence of
personal identity after death without
having any light thrown upon them
The Christian Register, in its latest is
sue, appeals to the most distinguished of
living scientists for the solution of the
mystery which Is connected with the re-
lation of mind to matter. of soil to sub
stance: but science II as deeply IN doubt
as the mind of the honest and hunibl.. re-
igionist. The Register presents "A deeply
interesting statement of Opinions. but
there is nothing in them which helps us
to solve the enigma. Plato and Socrates
had as much to help them to definite
belief as the modern philosopher has.
Even some of the scientists who could
not accept the resurrection as a fact
within the field of revelation are unable.
to say that the revelation of the fact OBJ
jectlvely in the rising of the Christ. and
in the self-cOnsciousness of the individ-
ual. is not to be trusted. Some scien-
fists regard the question of the reality
of the future life as living entirely outside
of the field of physical investigation.
and others look i'm the realm of mind for
such psychological discoveries as shall
throw light upon it as truly physical
discoveries have thrown light upon the
operation of natural law.

A Large Sale.

Yesterday MIR. w. G. Hargrove sold
five thousand budded orange trees. to be
delivered next winter The sale was
made to one individual, whose purpose
is to put them out in grove in Florida.
The trees are of the best varieties, and
will make one of the finest groves in the
State.
This is the largest sale of budded stock
ever made in Florida to one man for a
single grove, and shows that faith in the
Florida orange is by no means diminish
ing. We hear of number of other
large sales of nursery stock, and the in
dications are that many new groves will
be started next winter.

detests TO have his condition discussed

Parnellite party, who is q deeply de-
voted friend, also tried In vain the

cautions TO prevent their knowing
who lie was. All this leads 10 the
door of q delicate subject, which is
now mentioned here because IL is diff

mans condition. In 1881 Mr.. Parnell
seriously believed there was plan TO
poison him and kept q nervous out

again haunted by this idea and has .
notion that he is suffering from an at
